Lakers Fan Talks Russell Westbrook Trade from Washington Wizards

8/10/2021

0 Comments

 
This is a segment from the Slumpbuster Podcast. Aundre Huynh comes on the show to talk the Lakers most recent addition to their big three in Los Angeles. The Lakers acquired Russell Westbrook in a trade from the Washington Wizards. In the deal, Los Angeles agreed to send Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell and Kyle Kuzma to Washington. Westbrook is a former league MVP but has often been chastised for his teams performances in the playoffs. Last season for the Wizards Westbrook averaged 22.2 pts in 36 minutes of play per game. This also marked the fourth time in his career that Westbrook has averaged a triple-double. Is Westbrook the missing pieces for Lebron James to receive his fifth NBA Championship or will he be the reason they fail?

How the Heat and Bulls Free Agency Impacts the Eastern Conference

8/10/2021

1 Comment

 
The Eastern Conference got a lot more competitive because of what two teams did particularly. Coming off of their surprising bubble run to the NBA Finals in 2020, the Miami Heat were quickly dispatched of by the Bucks on their way to title. Pat Riley set his sights on the most sought after veteran on the market Kyle Lowry. Lowry will one day be enshrined in all-time Toronto sports legends but what talent will the veteran bring to South Beach?
​

Not to be outdone, the Chicago Bulls made a flurry of moves to begin free agency. As part of convincing Zach Levine that Chicago is in his best interest long-term, the Bulls acquired Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball. Ball, Levine and Demar Derozan form a formidable team with Nikola Vucevic rounding out the four spot in their line-up. Does this make the Bulls legitimate threats in the East?

Lakers Fan Reacts: Are the Lakers the Best Team in the West?

8/10/2021

0 Comments

 
While many teams are trying to get younger and more dynamic, its clear the Los Angeles Lakers put more emphasis on experience. Following their trade for former MVP Russell Westbrook, the Lakers were very active in free agency. It started by bringing back Dwight Howard for his third tour with the team and the next big name was longtime banana boat companion Carmelo Anthony. It has long since been rumored that Anthony and Lebron have spoken about joining forces and it is finally coming together. The additions do make the Lakers the oldest collective team in NBA history but is the gamble worth it. To give his completely unbiased opinion, Lakers fan Kyle Ledbetter is here to give his take on the Lakers moves.

The NBA Draft is scheduled for Thursday and two Western Conference teams looking to improve made a trade. Memphis and New Orleans stuck a deal that would see Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe go to Grizzlies in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas. In addition to the players, the teams will swap the 10th and 17th picks in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft. This draft may not shift the NBA landscape but it presents an opportunity for both clubs to place the right scheme fit around their young superstars Ja Morant and Zion Williamson. Kyle is here to recap the trade and what it means, enjoy!

Team USA's struggles continued in their Olympic opener against France on Sunday. Evan Fournier led France in scoring with a 28-point performance. The American's were led by Jrue Holiday's 18-point game, despite not starting. USA shot a paltry 36% from the field and went 10-of-32 from 3-point range. Damian Lillard matched Holiday in minutes played but only managed 11-points and Kevin Durant went 4-of-12 for 10-points. What adjustments does coach Greg Popovich need to make to ensure this team still has a shot at gold? Should US citizens still be confident in this teams ability to recover from this defeat? ​
